Even the title card. He's... intense. I can't say he's in the wrong though, he's just overly protective of his work and his image.

OldTennisCourt posted:Is there a gaming equivalent to Every Frame a Painting? Someone who takes a look into the deeper artistry, storytelling and mechanics of games? Kimble Justice is somewhat close, but anyone have other suggestions? Errant Signal is pretty great, he goes through a lot of older/quirkier games that had interesting mechanics, and covers how new games use mechanics in an interesting way. I think Noah Caldwell-Gervais has some great analysis videos as well, just be prepared for them to be long. Also, Todd did a one hit wonderland on Turning Japanese... yet somehow missed the bit of music history about the oriental riff originating in an 1847 play about Aladdin. Come on dude, it's on wikipedia and everything!

Come on dude, it's on wikipedia and everything! It's not that simple, if you read the sources they cite, The one in the 1847 Alladdin [sic] Quick Step uses a "proto-proto-version", which the the one major source on this subject details as 4 sixteenth notes at the same pitch, followed by 4 eighth notes and 1 quarter note (any pitch for these), all staccato. In fact, the page itself says: quote:The Far East Proto-Cliché "kind of almost occurs" already in 1847 If you listen to the midi file they have of the song from that play on that site, it really sounds nothing like it, but the riff we know today is either directly descended from it or else that song is symptomatic of some of the cultural baggage we put into the riff. They earliest example that sounds close-ish is actually 1900, though some arguments could be made for a riff in 1881. The site says about the exact origin of the riff: quote:Unresolved Questions Trust me, I've been in this discussion before, the history of it is pretty colorful and we're still not certain when and how it fossilized the way it is now, though it did appear several times in its modern form in some 1930s cartoons. Todd could legitimately fill an entire episode just on the history of that riff. The Wikipedia page is slightly misleading in this regard due to its really terse summary.

Oh, it looked positively awful. Like...the kidnapping? What the hell? Also, what kind of court would completely discount a parental figure's right to have contact with the child he raised when he's been a good parent, is a primary attachment figure and has been raising the child since birth? Whether or not he's biologically related shouldn't really come into it. Especially when the biological father apparently gets rights to custody even though he was never a part of the child's life. I've got no idea. I can see why Rupert Everett told gay actors not to come out, if these were the only kinds of roles he was offered.

One thing the author missed when he was expounding a bit on the Aladdin quick-step: quote:In this year appeared ("as produced at the Boston Museum") an operetta or cabaret or vaudeville or I-don't-know-what called The Grand Chinese Spectable of Aladdin or The Wonderful Lamp, which included this tune called Alladin Quick Step. A Chinese Alladin? Don't ask me; I can only note that a similar mixture of elements from the Orient in its widest meaning, including both the middle east and the far east, exists also in another important early cite of the Far East proto-cliché, which we will get to in a minute: An Afternoon in Midway Plaisance from 1893. Fun fact to win bar bets: Aladdin himself is very much Chinese in the "original" 1001 Nights (I put quotes there because the story of Aladdin shows up very late courtesy of a French guy and has shaky at best lineage); I'm not sure if in 1847 that little bit was better known than it is now, however.

Yeah, I'm not sure how we were supposed to feel about it. Was that supposed to be funny? 2000 is too late to have made a story like that - I would have expected a "kidnap a child so he doesn't have to see his gay parent" storyline in the seventies or early eighties.

That we're somehow supposed to "get" where Madonna's character is coming from and that whoah "Gays are human you guys but not like us and we totally get if you think they're a little icky!". 1990-2000s was really weird time to become super aware of your own skincolor and sexuality man.

Most of his stuff was cross-posted on Youtube, and what he hasn't posted, there's a solid chance a fan might have done so with Russian subtitles. Speaking off, the guy got paid $3600 for producing nothing in October. Not even a Counter Monkey or wrestling vlog.

At this point, I can't fault the guy for taking advantage of stupid people with bad spending habits. The writing was on the wall for a very long time and if you didn't bail on him when his output start to trickle down to next to nothing then that's all on you.

Even after taking 30% for taxes he still makes almost twice as much as I earn in gross income working a full 160 hour work month  E: Oh hey Jontron released a non star wars video recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghOKU8D-lMY Its one of the animated Titanic movies, and I think its much better then Doug's for one simple reason: He shows more of the movie then Doug did. Now that I think about it thats what I liked more about Lupa's Food Fight review compared to Doug's, its less on wacky antics and more of letting the movie speak for itself.

Also I think Jon is great fun any day of the week so I liked his review better.
